Remove old glass frosting?

I have a 9 paned window that was once sprayed with the glass
"frosting" for privacy. It was done at least 6 years ago before I
moved into my house. I found a can of it in the store and read how to
remove it. It said to use lacqur remover, paint thinner, acytate and
that kind of thing. I have tried all of them and nothing is helping!
It looks terrible! Can someone please suggest a sure fire way to
remove it? Thanks so much!

If Acetone or Xylene will not remove it, then you may have an etched window,
done with sandblast or acid etch, in which case you replace the glass.

A brick and the phone number of a good glazer?

If you live in a cold climate, you might be able to find a brass-edged
ice scraper. If not, try a paint scraper (but be careful, because steel
can scratch your glass.)

single edged razor blade

I know it is frosted because the people that sold it to us said it was
and also said it was easy to remove. Hmmmm. It is scratched in places
and I can see through the glass. Looks like the razor blade may be the
trick...thanks!
